Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has added his voice to the conversation around the Black Lives Matter movement after fans questioned his silence.He said for a long time he felt his life didn't matter, and having to assimilate to “white culture” at a young age proved there was still a long way to go.“Everything was done in Afrikaans. I couldn't understand a word and I felt stupid.
He said things only started to change after Rassie Erasmus was appointed as coach of the Springboks in 2018.“He said we needed to transform as a team, and not only by just having people of colour but also by changing the environment and changing from the inside.”
